NUMBER  11 
41st  YEAR 

MONDAY, 
JANUARY  25, 
1988 


U of  T dumps  South  African  holdings 


Governing  Council  voted  Jan.  21  to 
sell  the  University’s  shares  in  com- 
panies with  investments  in  South  Africa 
and  not  to  acquire  new  shares  in  such 
firms. 

Moved  by  undergraduate  Rachel 
Barney  and  seconded  by  Professor 
Michael  Marrus  of  the  Department  of 
History,  the  resolution  passed  by  30 
votes  to  12,  with  one  abstention.  The 
.spectators  greeted  the  decision  with  a 
standing  ovation. 

The  decision  supersedes  an  earlier 
policy  to  partially  divest  by  selling 
shares  in  companies  that  do  not  comply 
with  the  Canadian  code  of  conduct  for 
firms  operating  in  South  Africa. 

The  new  policy  will  have  no  impact  on 
the  University’s  financial  position, 
President  George  Connell  told  Council . 
Since  the  passage  in  1985  of  the  partial 
divestment  policy,  the  University  has 
moved  most  of  its  investment  capital 
into  companies  without  South  African 
holdings. 

The  University  owns  about  $1.26 
million  worth  of  shares  in  foui*  com- 
panies with  ties  to  South  Africa  — 
Borden  Inc.,  Caterpillar  Tractor, 
Dresser  Industries,  Monsanto  and 
Velcro  Industries  — a total  of  2.3  per- 
cent of  the  University’s  stock  holdings 
and  0.4  percent  of  its  total  investment 
portfolio. 

In  contrast  to  March  5,  when 
demonstrators  shouted  down  speakers 
and  jumped  on  tables,  the  meeting  was 
orderly.  Tickets  were  issued  to  control 
the  numbers  of  observers  in  attendance 
and  the  vote  itself  was  by  ballot.  At  the 


earlier  meeting  Council 
members  who  voted 
against  the  divestment 
motion  were  verbally 
abused  by  a hostile  crowd. 

A small  demonstration 
took  place  outside  Simcoe 
Hall  before  and  during  the 
meeting.  About  70  to  100 
people  chanted  anti- 
apartheid, pro-divestment 
slogans. 

Unique  issue 

“Apartheid  and  the 
regime  in  South  Africa  is  a 
very  special,  very  unique 
sort  of  issue,”  Barney  said 
in  making  her  motion.  “It 
happens  to  be  one  of  a 
very  tiny  category  that  we 
can  and  should  take  sUmds 
on. 

“The  reasons  are  simple: 
we  already  have,  in  a 
sense,  a policy  on  apart- 
heid because  we  have  a 
policy  on  racism.  Oppo- 
sition to  racism  is  written 
into  Just  about  every  relevant  policy  at 
the  University.  So  this  is  not  a remote 
issue.  Opposition  to  racism  is  one  of  the 
principles  upon  which  this  university  is 
liased,  so  the  real  question  we  should  be 
jisking  when  dealing  with  racism  in  South 
Africa  is  not  why  should  we  [consider  itl, 
l>ut  is  there  any  conceivable  excuse  for 
us  not  to?  Is  there  any  reiison  for  us  to 
take  a position  on  i-acism  north  of  King’s 
College  Circle  but  not  south  of  it?” 


Oemonstralors  chanted  anti-apartheid  slogans  outside  Simcoe  Hall  before  and  during  the  Jan.  21  Governing  Council 
meetirig. 


Partial  divestment  is  not  enough, 
Barney  said.  Companies  that  meet  the 
Canadian  code  of  conduct  “cannot  bring 
significant  pressui*e  to  bear  on  the  South 
African  government  for  wholesale  polit- 
ical eqiiidity ....  Their  jiresence  is  seen 
by'  the  South  A/ricarj  govSrrimd^iis  a 
vote  ofconfidence  in  the  current  regime. 
Divestment  is  designed  to  bring  signifi- 
cant pressui-e  to  bear  on  the  government 
to  dismantle  apartheid.” 


Minister  of  colleges  and  universities 
addresses  U of  T concerns 


by  George  Cook 

The  relationship  between  the  Univer- 
sity and  the  Ontario  Institute  for 
Studies  in  Education  continues  to 
perplex  the  provincial  government. 

_ At  a forum  on  post-secondary  educa- 
tion Jan.  19,  Lyn  McLeod,  the  minister 
ef  colleges  and  universities,  said 
^negotiations  between  U of  T and  OISE 
should  continue,  but  she  would  not  re- 
affirm the  government’s  stated  policy  of 
merging  the  two  institutions. 

“Obviously  the  government  has  a 
''®ry  great  interest  in  the  negotiations 
I think  we  will  be  involved,” 
McLeod  told  about  40  people  in  the 
Sandford  Fleming  auditorium,  "but  I 
don’t  think  we  can  come  to  conclusions, 
because  what  we  need  to  do  is  look  at 
fhe  continued  need  for  programs  and 
fhe  concerns  that  both  institutions  have 
raised.” 

I’m  not  prepared  to  comment  on 
government  policy , nor  do  I have  a pre- 
, ^termined  sense  of  what  the  result  of  a 
deliberation  between  the  two 
Jfdies  (Uof  T and  OISEI  would  be,” 
oLeod  said.  “I  believe  that  the  nego- 
'ations  should  continue  and  that  the 
should  be  resolved  with  due 
^cognition  of  the  valuable  role  OISE 
^d  of  the  concerns  of  the  Faculty 

Education.” 

(Brian  O'Riordan,  a special  assistant 
j Ontario  Treasurer  Robert  Nixon,  said 
while  the  government  con- 
ges to  believe  that  OISE  should

become  part  of  U of  T,  no  action  is 
planned  to  bring  about  a merger.) 

The  forum,  sponsored  by  the  Stu- 
dents’ Administrative  Council,  dealt 
with  provincial  government  priorities 
for  post -secondary  education  in  the  com- 
ing decade.  McLeod  was  joined  on  the 
panel  by  opposition  critics  Richard 
Johnston  of  the  New  Democratic  Party 
and  Cam  Jackson  of  the  Progressive 
Conservatives! 

Both  opposition  critic.s  said  OISE 
should  remain  independent  of  U of  T. 


‘Tm  glad  to  hear  the  kind  of  com- 
ments we’re  getting  from  the  minister,'  ’ 
Johnston  said,  “hecau.se  it  make.s  it 
sound  like  the  idea  hiis  been  pushed  into 
the  background."  It  is  ironic  that  the 
provincial  government  will  permit 
American  universities  to  grant  educa- 
tion degrees  in  Ontario,  but  will  not 
make  OISE  a degree-granting  institu- 
tion, he  added. 

Jackson  said  OISE  has  an  excellent 
reputation  and  should  lie  allowed  to  con- 
tinue its  work  "under  the  current  con- 
figuration.” 

Defends  targeting 

During  the  discussion  McLeod  defended 
the  government’s  use  of  targeted 
funding. 

“I  don’t  accept  the  contention  that  the 
special  funding  is  at  the  expense  of  in- 
creases in  basic  operating  grants,”  she 
said.  Basic  operating  support  has  con- 
tinued to  increase  despite  the  advent  of 
earmarked  money  for  faculty  renewal, 
library  equipment  or  overhead  costs 
associated  with  reseiu-ch. 

“I  really  question  any  distinction 
that’s  made  between  the  so-called 
targeted  funding  and  the  basic  needs  of 
the  universities.  Surely  library  enhance- 
ment and  student  equipment  are  basic." 

Johnston  took  issue  with  McLeod, 
however.  He  said  targeted  funding  has 
come  at  the  expense  of  base  funding, 
not  in  addition  to  it. 

See  MCLEOD : Page  2 


Marrus  addressed  the  issue  of  Coun- 
cil’s involvement  in  political  matters.  “I 
am  mindful  that  there  are  strong 
arguments  that  are  made  against 
political  involvement  by  a council  such 
as  ours,”  Mai-rus  said.  “But  against  that 
view  I think  we  must  consider  w/iat  i.s 
now  a majority  opinion  in  our  univer- 
sity. That  is,  that  the  moral  costs  of 
abstention  on  this  matter  are  just  too 
great.” 

While  complete  divestment  is  a large- 
ly symbolic  act,  symbols  are  important, 
Marrus  continued.  “Because  of  a vari- 
ety of  circumstances,  none  of  which  we 
control,  divestment  has  become  the 
universal  symbol  of  abhorrence  for  a 
governmehtally  defined  and  officially 
sanctioned  system  of  racial  oppression .

Bill  C-54  finds  little  support  at  U of  T 


by  Judith  Knelman 

The  University  community  has 
organized  an  attack  on  at  least  two 
fronts  to  shoot  down  Bill  C-54,  the 
federal  government^  proposed  anti- 
pornography legislation. 

The  proposed  amendments  to  the 
criminfd  code  have  caused  dismay 
among  faculty  members  and  lihraidans, 
who  see  them  as  a threat  to  intellectual 
freedom  and  freedom  of  infornmtion. 
" ‘Dealers  in  pornography'  is  a wonder- 
ful phrjuse  that  certainly  gives  a new 
twist  to  librarianship,”  said  Carole 
Mo<jre,  chief  librarjjin  at  U of  T. 

Under  the  act,  which  is  now  in  com- 
mittee pending  third  reailing,  anyone 
who  possesses  pornography  for  the  pur- 
pose of  distribution  or  displays  it  in 
public  is  guilty  of  a criminal  offence. 
Ponujgraphy  includes  visual  depictions 
of  sex  with  someone  under  18,  sexually 
violent  conduct,  bestiality,  incest,  sexual 
intercourse  or  “any  matter  or  commer- 
cial communication”  that  encou^^^es 
such  conduct. 

If  a charge  were  to  he  laid,  the  onus 
would  be  on  the  accused  to  prove  that 
the  material  in  (juestion  wjis  being  used 


for  artistic,  educational,  scientific  or 
medical  purposes.  If  the  material 
distributed  encouraged  sexual  activity 
involving  people  under  the  ;ige  ol  18, 
there  would  he  no  such  defence  allowed. 
Under  the  Criminal  Code  the  maximum 
sentence  would  he  lOyears. 

Tliat  could  make  pujweying  and  inter- 
preting Nabokov’s  Lolita,  Plato’s 
Symposium,  Petronius’  Satyricon  and 
Boccaccio’s  Decameron  a criminal 
offence. 

“There  is  ample  protection  in  the 
Criminal  Code  against  the  exploitation 
of  children,  violence,  etc.,"  said  Fred 
Wilson , pre.sident  of  the  faculty  fissocia- 
tion.  “There’s  no  need  for  this  adili- 
tional  lejpslation.” 

“If  writers  write  and  pul4ishers  print 
only  the  inoffensive,  if  educators  pre- 
sent only  the  innocuous  and  librarians 
collect  and  display  only  the  unobtrusive, 
the  academic  community  will  retreat  to 
a repressive  period,”  said  Margaret 
Anderson,  who  teixches  at  the  Faculty  of 
Library  & Information  Science.  “We 
need  to  ask  the  lawmakers  to  go  back  to 
the  drawing  l>oard.  If  fear  of  litigation 
inhibits  teaching,  writing,  collecting  and 
disseminating  knowledge,  then  the  ser- 
vice done  to  control  an  evil  is  less  than 
the  disservice  done  to  encourage  a good 
that  comes  from  the  free  How  of  ideius.” 

The  library  has  lieen  distributing  a 
Hier  about  the  impact  of  Hill  C-54  and 
postcards  of  protest  to  Prime  Minister 
Brian  Mulroney.  The  fii*st  hatch  of  5,000 
went  immediately,  said  Moore,  and  the 
second  hatch  is  disappearing  rapidly. 
The  flier  encourages  people  who  ol>jecl 
to  write  to  Ray  Hnatyshyn,  the  minister 
of  justice,  and  their  MPs. 

The  Jan.  18  UTFA  Newsletter'  con- 
tained a postcard  addressed  to  Mul- 
roney and  a suggestion  that  members 
write  Hnatyshyn  and  their  MPs  as  well. 

The  Canadian  Association  of  Univer- 
sity  Teachers  has  been  lobbying  against 
the  bill,  which  it  says  could  be  construed 
as  covering  books,  documents,  reports 
and  records  stored  in  university 
libraries  and  sociolgical,  medical,  an- 
thropological and  fine  art  collections. 

Edward  Sellers,  associate  dean, 
academic  affairs,  of  the  Faculty  of 
Medicine,  said  the  area  in  his  faculty 
where  there  would  he  the  greatest  con- 
cern would  be  in  the  human  sexuality 
elective,  which  uses  movies  and  video- 
tapes to  portray  sexuality  to  prepare 
medical  students  to  deal  with  things 
their  patients  may  tell  them  aliout  in  the 
future.  But  he  felt  that  even  there  the, 
threat  wjis  minimal,  since  the  use  is 
dearly  educational.

McLeod  responds  to  concerns 

Continued  from  Page  1 


The  establishment  of  funding 
envelopes  does  not  threaten  university 
autonomy,  McLeod  continued.  Targets 
are  established  in  consultation  with  the 
institutions  themselves.  “We  work  very 
closely  with  the  universities  when  we 
develop  particular  envelopes,”  she  said. 
“We  try  to  respond  to  real  needs.” 

Asked  later  how  the  Council  of  On- 
tario Universities  now  views  targeted 
funding,  Will  Sayers.  COU’s  director  of 
communications,  said  the  “insidious 
steering  effects”  of  targeting  are  a 
source  of  concern.  “The  priorities  of  the 
universities  are  being  set  to  a degree  by 
outside  parties.” 

Targeted  funds  reduce  flexibility, 
Sayers  said.  Spending  needs  can  change 
from  year  to  yeai*  and  if  funding  is 
directed  by  the.government,  the  univer- 
sities’ options  are  reduced. 

McLeod  said  that  her  ministry  is  not 
responsible  for  auditing  the  universities. 
Audits  are  carried  out  by  the  indepen- 
dent provincial  auditor,  who  reports 
directly  to  the  legislature.  He  has 
recently  completed  an  audit  of  Trent 
University  in  Peterborough  and  his 
report  will  be  sent  to  the  university  and 
to  the  ministry.  McLeod  said  she  does 
not  know  which  other  universities  will 
be  audited. 

Enhance  access 

McLeod  returned  to  the  question  of 
accessibility  several  times  during  the 
discussion.  “The  real  challenge  comes 
when  we  try  to  achieve  full  accessibility , 
relevance  and  excellence  in  the  context 
of  fiscal  accountability,”  she  said.  “We 
must  look  for  creative  means  of  pro- 
viding the  best  while  maintaining  a 
balanced  growth  in  our  spending. 
Without  that  balance  we  would  certain- 
ly risk  another  period  with  little  or  no 
financial  improvements  for  our  colleges 
and  universities.  If  we  have  careful 
planning,  the  necessity  of  sudden  and 
drastic  financial  restraint  and  program 
cutbacks  can  be  avoided  and  our  pro- 
gress will  indeed  be  steady.” 

Rising  enrolment  will  put  further 
pressure  on  the  universities  to  find 
room  for  students,  McLeod  said. 
“We’re  continuing  to  deal  with  the 
capital  needs  as  rapidly  as  we  can . My 
hope  is  that  by  creating  new  classroom 
space  and  meeting  the  universities’ 
priority  capital  needs  as  quickly  as 
possible,  we’re  able  to  relieve  some  of 
those  pressures.  We’re  trying  to  ad- 
dress those  capital  needs  as  quickly  as 
we  can  given  the  financial  limitations 
that  we  always  have  to  work  with.” 

The  government  is  committed  to  in- 
creasing the  participation  rates  of 


Francophones,  native  Canadians  and 
others  who  have  traditionally  been 
under-represented  in  colleges  and  uni- 
versities, McLeod  said. 

However,  she  would  not  commit 
herself  to  the  creation  of  a Francophone 
university.  She  said  the  government  is 
studying  ways  to  provide  education  in 
French  for  Francophone  students. 

The  minister  also  indicated  her  strong 
support  for  distance  education.  “Mayhe 
in  the  next  decade  a single  mother  who 
lives  in  Pickle  Lake  will  not  have  to 
leave  her  home  to  complete  her  educa- 
tion. When  that  happens  we  will  have 
made  our  education  system  truly 
accessible.” 

The  government  is  prepared  to  re- 
evaluate its  student  assistance  progrjim, 
but  McLeod  said  there  are  “con- 
sideral)le  financial  implications”  even  to 
small  changes.  The  extension  of  the 
grant  eligibility  period  for  students  by 
one  year  would  cost  $10  million  she  sjiid. 

She  also  declined  to  commit  herself  to 
the  creation  of  a national  panel  on  post- 
secondary education . The  proposal  for  :i 
pane!  to  help  coordinate  the  post- 
secondary  sector  arose  at  the  national 
forum  on  education  held  in  Saskatoon  in 
October.  She  and  her  provincial 
counterparts  will  continue  to  discuss 
ways  in  which  national  planning  for 
post-secondary  education  can  occur,  she 
said.

National  Conference  on  Technology  and  Innovation 

Stronger  industry-university  ties  recommended 

Utr  l^nna.R.  WYSAno*  RntnrwJi-'rmir  u/V><v  ii/oo  


by  Pippa.B.  Wysong 

When  Prime  Minister  Brian 
Mulroney  announced  $1.3  billion 
in  ledera!  funding  for  “centres  of  excel- 
lence" he  left  the  universities  both 
,|<'lighted  and  confused.  No  one  is  cer- 
tain what  he  means  by  “centres  of  ex- 
i-ctlence,”  or  whether  the  proposal 
would  be  connected  to  the  provincial 
^rovcrnment’s  Centres  of  Excellence 
lirogram . U of  T is  participating  in  five 
uf  Die  province’s  centres. 

Mulroney’s  announcentent  came  at 
the  National  Conference  on  Technology 
& Innovation  held  at  Toronto  Jan.  13  to 
15.  Pai-t  of  the  funding  package  includes 
sc  holarships  ~for  2,500  science  and 
engineering  students. 

•At  this  stage,  the  importance  of  the 
$1.3  billion  promise  of  funds  is  difficult 
to  judge,"  said  President  George  Con- 
nell, who  attended  the  conference,  “it  is 
a substantial  commitment  to  the 
development  of  science  and  technology 
in  Canada.  The  impact  will  depend  very 
much  on  the  programs  chosen  for  sup- 
port and  the  specific  terms  of  reference 
of  those  programs." 

Connell  also  noted  that  it  is  “vital  for 
tiie  development  of  our  research  poten- 
tial that  a large  share  of  the  new  funds 
How  into  the  base  funding  of  the 
research  councils.” 

The  prime  minister’s  announcement 
was  followed  by  a series  of  workshops. 
Participants  discussed  ways  in  which 
they  could  work  together  to  help  Canada 
liecome  more  competitive  on  an  inter- 
national level  in  science  and  technology. 
Most  agreed  on  establishing  stronger 
links  between  universities  and  industry. 

Currently,  industry  contributes  three 
percent  towards  the  total  cost  of  R&D 
in  universities  across  Canada.  Some 
people  want  more  industry-based  con- 
tracts and  closer  ties,  while  others  are 
more  cautious.  One  of  the  issues  is 
whether  university  research  will  end  up 
l.)eing  done  only  for  the  sake  of  industry. 

David  Strangway,  president  of  UBC 
and  former  U of  T president,  who  at- 
tended the  conference,  said  “we’re  a 
long,  long  way  from  having  to  worry 
seriously  about  that  issue ...  if  we  have 
a good,  healthy,  technology-driven  in- 
Hustry,  there’s  even  more  reason  for  in- 
dustry to  support  basic  research.  It’s  a 
symbiotic  relationship.” 

One  point  discussed  in  the  workshops 
was  that  industry  sometimes  considers 
basic  research  a high-risk  area.  Years 
tan  be  spent  researching  an  area  with 
little  or  no  .concrete  results  when  the 
research  is  finished.  Most  contracts  are 
consequently  directed  towards  applied 
areas.

old  favshioned  grants."  He  added  that 
the  value  of  the  relationship  between 
universities  and  industry  depends  on 
how  it  is  carried  out. 

Kunov  explained  that,  from  the  re- 
searcher’s perspective,  a contrixet  with 
industry  ideally  should  provide  work 
that  is  interesting  scientifically,  will  give 
rise  to  applied  or  fundamental  research, 
that  the  company  will  help  with  some  of 
the  overhead,  and  the  results  will  be 
publishable. 

Before  signing  a contract,  it  is  often 
difficult  to  know  exactly  what  is  and 
what  is  not  a good  agreement  with  in- 
dustry, he  said.  The  dangers  involved  lie 
in  signing  up  with  a company  that  at 
first  seems  objective,  but  then  ends  up 
trying  to  run  the  way  research  is  done. 

He  said  that  good  contracts  are  those 
which  appreciate  the  R&D  needs  of  a 
university.  He  also  said  that  although 
his  work  benefits  from  industry  con- 
tracts, he  is  still  concerned  about  the 


Pmsral  Visual  Upreadmg  Aid  glasses.  These  ‘'glasses  for  the  deaf”  process 


possible  dangers  of  university  research 
going  too  far  in  that  direction. 

The  question  of  intellectual  property 
and  who  will  benefit  from  it  will  be  one 
of  the  many  things  still  to  be  sorted  out 
as  the  $1.3  billion  begins  to  get  distrib- 


uted . Connell  recommends  that  the  gov- 
ernment not  try  to  secure  for  itself  intel- 
lectual property  from  the  centres  of  ex- 
cellence. “Intellectual  property  rights 
should  remain  close  to  the  inventors 
themselves,”  he  said.

An  update  on  application  for  union 
.certification  and  preparation  for 
the  process  of  collective  bargaining 
were  discussed  at  a Jan.  20  information 
meeting  held  by  the  University  of 
Toronto  Staff  Association  on  the  St. 
George  campus.  The  meeting  drew 
about  80  staff  members. 

The  Canadian  Union  of  Public 
Employees  applied  on  behalf  of  UTSA 
to  the  Labour  Relations  Board  Dec.  8 
for  a pre-hearing  vote  on  union  certifica- 
tion. As  required  by  the  board,  the  Uni- 
versity administration  has  provided 
UTSA  with  a list  of  all  employees  in- 
dicating those  they  consider  eligible  for 
union  membership.  The  administra- 
tion’s bargaining  unit  description,  also 
required  by  the  board,  will  be  available 
by  today. 

The  list  provided  by  the  administra- 
tion indicates  that  there  are  about  2,300 
employees  that  both  UTSA  and  the  ad- 
ministration agree  would  be  eligible  for 
inclusion  in  a bargaining  unit,  said 
David  Askew,  president  of  UTSA. 
There  are  almost  1,000  employees  that 
UTSA  wants  in  but  the  administration 
wants  to  exclude.  The  board  will  at- 
tempt to  reduce  substantially  the 
discrepancy  in  numbers  before  setting  a 
date  for  the  vote,  said  Askew.  The  vote 
should  occur  about  one  month  after  the 
board  determines  a reasonable  resolu- 
tion of  the  differences  although  tlie  com- 
plete and  final  determination  of  the 
bargaining  unit  may  not  occur  until 
jifter  the  vote.  To  win  certification, 
more  than  50  percent  of  those  who  vote 
must  indicate  support  for  CUPE. 

The  bargaining  unit  description 
UTSA  wants  is  essentially  the  same  as 
the  current  composition  of  UTSA,  said 
Askew.  This  would  include  all  U of  T 
employees,  including  casuals,  except 
those  excluded  by  the  Labour  Relations 
Act,  such  as  management  and  those 
handling  information  confidential  to  uni- 
versity labour  relations  issues.  UTSA 
estimates  approximately  3,150 
employees  will  make  up  the  unit.  “We 
want  the  largest  and  strongest  possible 
bargaining  unit  so  we  have  to  be  pa- 
tient," Askew  said. 


In  the  meantime,  work  can  start  on 
the  proposed  first  collective  agreement, 
said  Rose  Marie  Harrop.  UTSA  vice- 
president,  salary  and  benefits.  “The 
first  contract  is  very  important  since  it 
establishes  the  language  that  defines 
the  relationship  between  the  adminis- 
tration and  union  members."  It  is  im- 
portant to  begin  this  process  now,  she 
added,  since  even  if  unionization  is  not 
achieved,  UTSA  will  need  input  and  in- 
volvement of  members  for  the  annual 
salary  and  benefits  discussions  with  the 
administration. 

Staff  members  at  the  meeting  in- 
dicated concerns  over  a broad  range  of 
issues,  including  job  security,  day-care, 
air  quality  and  pay  equity.  All  items 
related  to  wages,  benefits  and  working 
conditions  are  negotiable  in  a collective 
agreement,  said  Harrop. 

Merit  pay  was  one  item  of  interest. 
“Surveys  indicate  staff  want  cost-of- 
living,”  Harrop  said,  “but  there  is  less 
support  for  merit.’’  Performance 


reviews  were  also  discussed.  “The  new 
performance  appraisal  system  should 
not  be  in  use,”  she  pointed  out,  “since  it 
had  not  been  approved  before  we  ap- 
plied for  a pre-hearing  vote.”  According 
to  labour  law,  all  terms  and  conditions 
of  employment  are  frozen  once  an  ap- 
plication for  certification  is  made. 

The  question  of  what  would  happen  to 
those  staff  members  not  represented  by 
the  union  was  also  raised.  Bob  Toop  of 
CUPE  said,  “I  have  never  ever  come 
across  an  employer  who  gives  manage- 
ment less  than  unionized  employees." 
Those  not  in  the  union,  added  Askew, 
can  form  their  own  association , as  they 
have  at  York. 

Similar  meetings  were  held  at  Scar- 
borough College  Jan.  21  and  Erindale 
College  Jan.  22.  A fourth  meeting  is 
scheduled  at  the  Institute  for  Aerospace 
Studies  for  Tuesday,  Jan.  26.  This 
meeting  will  also  be  for  staff  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Toronto  Press  at  Downsview. 


Group  works  on  reform 
of  unicameralism 


The  recently  established  working 
group  on  University  governance 
hopes  to  present  a det^Ied  proposal  for 
the  reform  of  unicameralism  to  the 
April  meeting  of  Governing  Council.  A 
draft  proposal  should  be  ready  for  cir- 
culation in  March. 

The  members  of  the  working  group 
are:  Council  chair  St.  Clair  Balfour; 
President  George  Connell;  Dean  Roger 
Beck  of  Erindale,  teaching  staff;  Brian 
Birchell,  full-time  undergraduate  stu- 
dent; Kendall  Cork,  government  ap- 
pointee: Dorothy  Hellebust,  alumna; 
Professor  James  McConica,  president  of 
St.  Michael’s;  Karen  Pearson,  graduate 
student;  Joan  Randall,  vice-chair  of 
Governing  Council;  Professor  Peter 
Silcox,  political  science;  Joanne  Uyede, 
alumna;  and  Professor  Mike  Uzumeri, 
teaching  staff.  Provost  Joan  Foley  will 
serve  as  the  president’s  alternate  and 
part-time  undergraduate  Terry 


Johnston  as  student  alternate. 

David  Meen,  president  of  Me  Kinsey 
and  Co.,  management  consultants,  has 
been  hired  to  work  with  the  group, 
which  will  meet  weekly  in  January  and 
February.  Governing  Council  secretary 
Jack  Dimond  and  assistant  secretary 
Irene  Birrell  will  provide  staff  support. 

The  working  group  will  develop  a 
detailed  proposal  for  reform  of  the 
unicameral  structure  based  on  a nine- 
point  plan  approved  in  principle  Dec.  3. 
The  plan  calls  for  the  merger  of  the 
Academic  Affairs  and  Planning  & 
Resources  Committees  to  form  a new 
Academic  Board.  The  Business  Affairs 
Committee  and  the  Committee  on  Cam- 
pus & Community  Affairs  will  also  play 
a greater  role  in  policy  formation.  Gov- 
erning Council  will  retain  decision- 
making authority  under  the  University 
of  Toronto  Act,  1971.

students  gathered  to  honour  Gilmore 
were  eager  to  hear  ;ilH)Ut  his  research 
on  a sul)ject  which  concerns  everyone: 
tlie  common  cold. 

“Don’t  stond  in  a draft  — you’ll  come 
down  with  something.”  “You’re  not 
getting  enough  sleep  — you'll  catch 
cold.”  “You  worry  too  much  — do  you 
want  to  get  sick?”  Sound  familiar?  Most 
mothers’  warnings  are  based  on  myths 
aliout  how  colds  are  picked  up.  Gilmore 
defines  myths  as  explanations  of 
phenomena  which  are  so  satisfying  that 
the  truth  pales  in  comparison,  and  “a 
goo<l  myth,  like  a bad  cold,  is  highly 
infectious." 

Each  year,  100  students  have  volun- 
teered to  keep  detailed  records  of  their 
health,  psychological  state  and  environ- 
ment so  that  Gilmore  can  study  how 
these  factors  interact  to  produce  infec- 
tion Wliile  his  data  from  1986  and  1987 
have  yet  to  be  analyzed,  his  research 
seems  likely  to  lay  a myth  or  two  to  rest , 
while  validating  others.  He’s  discov- 
ered. for  instance,  that  a lack  of  sleep 
dogs  not  seem  to  increase  the  likelihood 
of  catching  a cold. 

However,  preliminary  results  from 
the  first  two  years  of  the  four-year 
study  show  that  exposure  to  climatic 
changes  or  fluctuations  in  stress  levels 
may  well  make  one  susceptible  to  colds. 
Gilmore  found  that  a temperature  drop 
foui’  or  five  days  before  the  onset  of  cold 
symptoms  is  not  unusual.  Since  colds 
have  an  incul)ation  period  of  about  48 
hours,  this  suggests  that  the  tempera- 
tui’e  drop  increjises  the  chances  of  being 
infected  when  a virus  is  encountered 
two  days  later.

“The  timing  is  not  as  the  myths  told 
us,”  he  said. 

Rapid  changes  in  levels  of  stress 
appear  to  have  the  same  effect.  How- 
ever, it’s  not  necessarily  an  increase  in 
stress  that’s  to  blame.  Sometimes  a 
vacation  — and  hence  a reduction  in 
psychological  discomfort  — can  increase 
susceptibility.  To  complicate  matters 
further,  even  after  a virus  has  been  con- 
tracted, one-third  of  colds  remain  “sub- 


clinical”  or  never  produce  symptoms. 

Obviously  it’s  not  a simple  equation, 
and  Gilmore  is  guarded  about  the  suc- 
cess of  his  study:  “I  took  quite  a gamble. 
I didn’t  lose  my  gamble  — but  1 didn't 
win  it  either.” 

Nobody  can  win  against  the  common 
cold,  but  judging  by  the  enthusiastic 
response  when  Foley  presented  him 
with  his  CASE  award,  the  audience 
obviously  considered  him  a winner. 


Council  discusses  divestment 


Continued  from  Page  1 

In  consequence,  whatever  we  do  has 
wide  symbolic  significance.  Whether  we 
vote  to  divest  or  not  to  divest.  Whether 
we  like  it  or  not,  and  many  of  us  do  not, 
there  is  just  no  realistic,  credible  third 
position.” 

Professor  Archie  Thornton,  the 
author  of  a recent  report  on  the  divest- 
ment issue  commissioned  by  the  presi- 
dent, began  the  discussion  with  an 
appeal  for  reason  and  restraint  by 
observing  that  the  resolution  to  divest 
was  “a  piece  of  local  parish  business” 
and  would  not  alter  the  situation  in 
South  Africa. 

‘ ‘To  say  that  is  in  no  way  to  reduce  its 
importance,  but  it  does  emphasize  its 
scale.  What  we  have  to  do  is  make  a 
decision  we  can  live  with  and  this  deci- 
sion should  be , as  far  as  we  can  judge  it, 

right Let  us  see  what  we  can  do' 

about  this  today  in  a decent  and 
reasonable  way.” 

Selective  divestment 

Aftei-  thanking  Thornton  for  his  report, 
Connell  told  Council  that  he  was  critical 
of  some  aspects  of  it.  The  report  did  not 
provide  a careful  enough  analysis  of  the 
policy  of  selective  divestment  or  do 
justice  to  those  who  have  endorsed  such 
an  approach,  the  president  said. 

Regarding  the  divestment  motion 
itself,  Connell  said  he  did  not  think  the 
University  should  “commit  itself  to  a 
coiirse  of  action  the  intention  of  which  is 
to  bring  about  social  or  political  change 
in  this  country  or  indeed  in  any  other 
country.” 

Such  a course  of  action  would  be  a 
signal  to  special  interest  groups  in  and 
outside  the  University  that  the  Univer- 
sity and  Council  can  be  used  as  an 
instrument  of  social  and  economic 
power  to  further  a specific  goal. 

‘ ‘The  cause  may  be , as  I judge  it  to  be , 
of  tlie  very  essence  of  human  rights  and 
one  for  which  the  end,  if  not  the  means, 
has  the  sympathy  of  virtually  all 
members  of  this  community  and  Cana- 
dian society  at  large,  but  there  are 
among  us,  as  we  know,  individuals  who 
are  just  as  strongly  committed  to  other 
causes  — of  the  Afghans,  the  Tamils  of 
Sri  Lanka,  the  contras  or  perhaps  the 
Sandinistas  of  Nicaragua,  the  Arabs  of 
the  Gaza  strip. 

“There  are  actions  a university  can 
take  and  should  take  in  the  case  of 
South  Africa.  We  have  taken  special  in- 
itiatives to  bring  South  African  blacks 
to  this  university,  and  we  now  in  fact 
have  one  in  our  midst.  I have  protested 
on  your  behalf  the  recent  infringements 
of  academic  freedom  in  the  South 
African  universities  by  writing  to  the 
South  African  ambassador. 

“ It  is  disturbing  to  me  that  so  many  of 
our  faculty  and  students  are  now  urging 
this  council  to  take  on  a role  as  the  ar- 
biter of  truth  and  justice  which  if  con- 
tinued and  extended  could  intrude 
seriously  upon  the  freedom  of  the 
academic  domain.” 

Speaking  on  behalf  of  the  African  and 
Caribbean  Students  Association  and  the 
Anti-apartheid  Network,  student  Mark 
Warner  urged  adoption  of  the  resolu- 
tion. Divestment  and  disengagement 
have  the  support  of  most  black  South 


Africans,  Warner  said,  and  the  Univer- 
sity must  live  up  to  its  responsibility  as  a 
“custodian  of  common  values”  by  acting 
in  accordance  with  widely-held  anti- 
racist principles. 

Encourage  investment 

Government  appointee  Kendall  Cork 
opposed  complete  divestment.  “The 
most  loving  conclusion,  with  the  most 
compassion  for  everyone  in  South 
Africa,  is  not  to  divest  across  the 
board,”  Cork  said.  “Rather  it  is  to  en- 
courage the  maximum  of  relationships 
of  South  Africa  with  the  rest  of  the 
world  by  encouraging  investment  there 
by  companies  who  live  up  to  proper 
standards.” 

Professor  William  Francombe  called 
the  policy  on  selective  divestment  “fair 
and  sensible.”  Helping  to  isolate  South 
Africa  by  endorsing  complete  divest- 
ment would  only  aggravate  conditions 
there. 

Government  appointee  Robert 
McGavin  said  that  by  holding  shares  in 
companies  that  do  business  in  Soutli 
Africa  the  University  is  able  to  check 
their  behaviour  against  the  Canadian 
code  of  conduct.  “I  hate  giving  away  op- 
portunity to  do  something,  so  I can’t 
support  the  motion.” 

Administrative  staff  representative 
Michael  Jackel  said  endorsing  complete 
divestment  does  not  mean  the  Govern- 
ing Council  will  be  required  to  deal  with 
' ‘every  political  issue  that  comes  along.” 
Professor  Bernhard  Cinader  said  he 
would  support  the  divestment  motion 
and  hoped  the  University  would  soon 
address  some  pressing  domestic  issues. 
“I  think  we  have  an  internal  agenda 
which  has  to  do  with  the  accessibility  of 
this  university  to  our  native  students 
and  we  need  to  get  to  this.” 
Government  appointee  Annamarie 
Castrilli  also  endorsed  the  motion.  She 
said  complete  divestment  would  have  a 
greater  impact  than  urging  companies 
in  wTiich  the  University  holds  shares  to 
abide  by  the  Canadian  code  of  conduct. 

Alumnus  Miller  Alloway  said  the 
greater  good  of  the  University  would  be 
served  by  putting  the  issue  of  divest- 
ment to  re^t.  “The  greater  good  is  con- 
sideration of  the  strategic  and  impor- 
tant issues  — tremendously  important 
issues  — which  in  my  opinion  are  suffer- 
ing from  the  distraction  caused  by  this 
serious  campus  debate.”

KNELMAN’S  NOTEBOOK 


At  the  forum  on  education  last  week, 
an  engineering  student  told  Lyn 
McLeod,  minister  of  colleges  and 
universities,  a sad  tale  of  under- 
Cumling.  Seems  that  a piece  of  equip- 
nient  used  to  teach  engineeiing  broke 
down  and  the  manufacturer  was 
askc*<i  to  llx  it.  Instead  of  fixing  it  he 
i-tniuested  it  for  the  firm’s  museum. 


The  DEEDS  project  (Documents  of 
Essex,  England  Data  Set)  advertised 
in  the  Jan.  11  Bulletin  for  housewives 
with  classics  degrees.  To  find  out 
whether  this  gesture  was  a good  deed, 
a consciousness-raising  effort  or 
what,  we  dialled  extension  4882  and 
got  Gillian  Long,  who  joined  the  pro- 
ject as  a researcher  last  year  after  16 
years  in  the  kitchen.  She  told  us  that 
Michael  Gervers,  the  director  of  the 
project,  has  a job-development  grant 
from  the  federal  government.  The 
government  wants  to  bring  people 
back  into  the  work  force  who  have 
been  out. of  it  and  to  give  them  skills 
and  knowledge  that  can  be  trans- 
ferred to  other  jobs.  So  when  Gervers 
says,  “Get  me  a list  of  all  the  tailors 
who  lived  in  Essex  in  the  12th  cen- 
tury,’’ he  may  in  some  quarters  be 
thought  of  as  providing  training  for 
direct  mail  advertising. 


This  year  there  are  more  visiting  ex- 
perts in  residence  at  University  Col- 
lege than  ever  before.  The  college  has 
a visitor  in  Canadian  culture  (Robert 
Fulford),  a playwright  in  residence 
(Stefan  Schutz),  a director  in 
residence  (Uta  Birnbaum)  and,  as  of 
this  month,  a ' trade  unionist  in 
residence.  The  trade  unionist  is  Sam 
Gindin,  chief  researcher  and  assistant 
to  Bob  White,  president  of  the  Cana- 
dian Auto  Workers.  The  idea  is  to  in- 
troduce to  the  college  people  who  are 
actively  dojng  things  that  are  studied 
there.  Artists  seem  a better  bet  than 
politicians:  the  college  has  twice  had  a 
politician  in  residence,  but  neither, 
was  able  to  spend  much  time  there. 

The  visitors  see  students,  visit 
classes  and  oblige  various  members  of 
the  University  who  ask  for  their 
special  services  — Fulford,  for  ex- 
ample, will  be  judging  the  short  story 
competition  sponsor^  by  Hart  House 
and  meeting  with  the  editors  of 
undergraduate  creative  writing  jour- 
nals. The  editor  in  him  prompted  him 
earlier  this  month  to  point  out  to  a 
campus  newspaper  that  “irregard- 
less”  is  not  a word. 


Another  expert  on  words  is  former 
Bulletin  reporter  Arthur  Kaptainis, 
now  music  critic  of  the  Montreal 
Gazette.  He  will  be  writing  a trivia 
column  for  the  paper’s  Sunday  edi- 
tion, which  is  to  be  launched  next 
fnonth.  Anyone  wondering  about  the 
distinctions  between  tartan  and  plaid; 
•noron,  cretin,  imbecile  and  idiot;  frog 
and  toad;  pig,  hog  and  boar;  or  mist 
and  fog  should  subscribe  immediately. 
« 

Something  that  morons,  cretins,  im- 
^ciles,  idiots,  frogs,  toads,  pigs,  hogs 
and  boars  have  in  common  with  the 
jest  of  us  is  that  they  can  use  their 
facial  muscles  to  smile,  frown  and 
glower.  Richard  Landon,  head  of  the 
1 nomas  Fisher  Rare  Book  Library, 
learned  that  from  a set  of  bound  proof 
sheets  of  Charles  Darwin’s  Expres- 
sions of  Emotions  in  Man  and 
Awmois(1872). 

Landon’s  own  facial  muscles  got 
quite  a lot  of  exercise  when  he  came 
upon  the  opportunity  to  add  to  the 
'^rary’s  substantial  Darwin  collection 


the  heavily  annotated  set  of  proofs. 
He  used  some  “fleeting  oppor- 
tunities” money  from  SSHRC  and  ap- 
proached the  Friends  of  the  Fisher 
Library  for  donations.  To  his  amaze- 
ment. the  campaign  has  in  little  more 
than  a month  produced  about  $9,000. 

“It  was  really  kind  of  an  experiment 
to  see  how  they  would  respond,”  said 
Landon.  “I  told  them  we’d  bought  this 
and  it  was  wonderful  and  asked 
whether  they  could  get  excited  about 
it.  They  did.” 


More  news  from  the  library:  the 
reference  department  at  Robarts  now 
has  a commercial  data  base  (in 
English)  prepared  for  the  Japanese 
finandai  community  by  the  Japan 
Economic  Journal.  Put  a word  in  and 
the  computer  will  tell  you  how  many 
times  it  occurs  in  the  data  base,  and 
where.  Anyone  who  wants  business 
.statistics  or  even  general  news  items 
on  Japan  would  be  wise  to  try  this 
source  first,  as  for  the  time  being  it’s 
free,  thanks  to  the  NEC  corporation. 
Other  searches  of  this  kind  cost  up  to 
$2  a minute.  ' 


Tim  McGee  of  the  Faculty  of  Music 
took  a quick  course  in  business  during 
his  last  sabbatical.  Before  he  left,  he 
bought  a Volkswagen  Jetta  for  the 
proverbial  song,  i.e.,  not  much  more 
than  half  the  retail  price.  The  saving 
was  on  tax  and  shipping,  since  he  was 
going  to  pick  it  up  at  the  factory  in 
Germany  and  use  it  for  a year  before 
bringing  it  into  Canada.  A time- 
honoured  procedure  among  academics. 

But  he  found  the  limits  on  export 
registration  tighter  than  they  have 
been.  The  limit  in  Germany  is  now  12 
months,  and  in  France  and  Italy  it’s 
one  month.  That  is  to  say,  to  get  back 
the  tax  that  he’d  paid  on  the  car  in 
Germany,  he  had  to  apply  within  12 
months,  but  to  avoid  paying  tax  in 
Canada,  he  had  to  be  away  for  longer 
than  12  months.  His  adventures,  re- 
counted at  length  in  the  December 
C AUT  Bulletin,  cost  him  a bundle  for 
a Swiss  lawyer  and  US  registration  so 
that  he  could  export  the  car. 


Joan  Foley,  vice-president  and  pro- 
‘ vost  and  a veteran  of  many  meetings, 
thought  this  poem  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  California  at  Berkeley  might 
have  some  admirers  here: 

Committee  ditty 
Oh  ^ve  me  your  pity! 

I’m  on  a committee, 

Which  means  that  from  morning  to 
night 

We  attend  and  amend 
And  contend  and  defend 
Without  a conclusion  in  sight. 

We  confer  and  concur, 

We  defer  and  demur, 

And  reiterate  all  of  our  thoughts. 

We  revise  the  agenda 
With  frequent  ^denda 
And  consider  a load  of  reports. 

We  compose  and  propose, 

We  suppose  and  oppose, 

And  the  points  of  procedure  are  fun. 

But  though  various  notions 
Are  brought  up  as  motions. 

There’s  terribly  little  gets  done. 

We  resolve  and  absolve, 

But  we  never  dissolve, 

Since  it’s  out  of  the  question  for  us 

To  bring  our  committee 
To  end  like  this  ditty, 

Which  stops  with  a period  — thus , 


A room 
with 
lots  of 
views 


Room  179  at  Uni- 
versity College 
was  host  to  a variety 
of  speakers  last  week 
during  Symposium  10, 
Mythologies  and  the 
Myths  We  Live  By. 
Speakers  included 
Robert  Fulford,  Mar- 
garet Visser,  Stephen 
Lewis,  Jay  Ingram 
and  P.K.  Page.  The 
topics  were  equally 
diverse,  ranging  from 
the  myth  that  scien- 
tists solve  problems  to 
a discussion  of  table 
manners  to  a talk  on 
the  way  American 
popular  films  myth- 
ologize violence. 


Bloom  draws  lively  response 


by  Patrick  Donohue 

Like  an  Old  Testament  prophet,  con- 
troversial author  Allan  Bloom 
enthralled  a nearly  full  house  at  Con- 
vocation Hail  Jan.  21  with  his  celebrated 
harangue  on  the  dire  state  of  liberal  arts 
education. 

But  unlike  most  prophets  of  doom  and 
gloom,  he  enlivened  his  message  with 
generous  amounts  of  humour.  Referring 
to  the  fact  that  his  The  Closing  of  t^ 

American  Mind  was  knocked  out  of 
first  place  on  the  best-seller  lists  by 
Spycatcker,  a book  that  had  been 
banned  by  British  Prime  Minister 
Margaret  Thatcher,  Bloom  lamented  his 
unsuccessful  attempt  to  have  the  Pope 
put  Closing  on  the  Index  of  forbidden 
books. 

In  a more  serious  vein.  Bloom  said 
that  U of  T,  where  he  taught  political 
science  from  1970  to  1978,  has  strug- 
gled harder  than  ariy  university  he 
knows  to  preserve  the  quality  of  educa- 
tion in  difficult  financial  times.  Like 
other  world-class  universities,  however, 

U of  T is  having  trouble  defining  what  a 
lilieral  arts  education  should  be,  he  said. 

Bloom,  now  a professor  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Chicago,  said  a liberal  arts  educa- 
tion must  address  the  question  “How 
ought  I to  live?”  or  “What  is  the  good 
life?”  Unfortunately,  however,  the 
democratic  instincts  of  our  society  have 
blurred  the  distinctions  between  good 
and  bad,  leading  to  relativism. 

“Relativism  is  deadly  to  higher  educa- 
tion.” If  history,  philosophy,  sociology 
and  anthropology  cannot  teach  students 
what  is  right  or  wrong,  we  can  only 
despair  of  education,  he  said. 

In  response  to  Closing,  some 
educators  have  called  for  more  empha- 
sis on  “values”  in  school  curricula  while 
others  are  warning  that  Bloom’s  empha- 
sis on  “absolutes”  is  dangerous.  But 
he's  proposing  neither  “absolutes"  nor 
the  trendy  “values”  courses  which  are 
sometimes  substituted  for  genuine 
ethics,  Bloom  said.  Courses  that 
describe  the  values  of  others  but  do  not 
pronounce  judgement  on  them  are  of  no 
help  in  education,  he  believes.  "Values,” 
stemming  from  relativism,  cannot  be 
shown  to  be  true  or  false  and  have  no 
status  beyond  the  cultures  in  which 
they’re  found,  "We  have  reached  a turn- 
ing point  in  history  when  the  language 

uNivERSTTYOFTORONTO Bulletin.  Monday,  January  25, 1988  5 


of  good  and  evil  has  been  replaced  by 
the  language  of  values.” 

That  doesn’t  mean  Bloom  is  insisting 
on  "absolutes”  though.  What  he  wants 
to  see  is  a theoretical  approach  to  the 
study  of  right  and  wrong  rather  than  a 
cafeteria-style  sampling  of  diverse 
philosophies  without  any  ranking  of 
their  relative  merit.  “Democracy  has 
put  the  theoretical  life  in  a bad  light.” 
Bloom  labelled  the  “rising  flood”  of 
criticism  accusing  him  of  elitism  as  a 
“bum  rap.”  He  said  he’s  a populist  who 
believes  in  access  for  everyone  to  works 
of  high  quality.  His  recent  book  focuses 
on  activities  in  the  major  universities, 
however,  because  it  is  their  mandate  to 
encourage  intellectual  superiority. 

In  Bloom’s  view  the  best  way  to  find 
out  what  is  good  is  the  study  of  “wise, 
old  books.”  A scholar  whose  books  have 
included  studies  of  Rousseau,  Plato  and 
Shakespeare,  Bloom  pointed  out  that 
Socrates’  happiness  resulted  from  his 
determination  to  find  out  what  is  good. 

Bloom  vigorously  defended  his 
preference  for  the  classics  because  a 
certain  “sifting”  over  time  has  shown 
their  value.  This  distinction  in  the  qual- 
ity of  books  is  objective,  not  subjective, 
he  insisted.  “You  can't  expect  me  to  say 
every  author  is  as  good  as  the  other.” 
While  some  contemporary  authors  may 
be  “estimable,”  there  is  a danger  of 
being  overwhelmed  by  current  trends. 
Universities  should  Introduce  students 
to  works  that  would  not  otherwise  be 
encountered.  “You  don’t  have  to  go  to 
college  to  read  Doonesbury." 

The  tremendous  public  reaction  to 
shows  that  “ordinary  folks”  still 
have  a respect  for  higher  learning 
because  they  sense  that  it  determines 
the  kind  of  people  we  are,  he  said. 
People  everywhere  are  still  hoping  for  a 
“reanimation”  of  education. 

In  a question  period,  several  people 
took  Bloom  to  task  for  his  perceived 
elitism.  But  the  audience  as  a whole 
responded  enthusiastically  to  his  denun- 
ciation of  universities.  Following  the  lec- 
ture he  was  besieged  with  students 
wanting  him  to  autograph  their  copies 
of  Closing. 

The  lecture  was  co-sponsored  by 
Woodsworth  College  and  the  Snider 
Bequest  in  the  Faculty  of  Arts  & 
Science.

at  9.2%  wlii  apply  on  all  University  purchases  of  Machinery  and  Equipment  for 
teaching  and  research  if  the  goods  are  considered  to  be  from  Canadian 
production. 

Goods  are  considered  to  be  available  from  production  in  Canada  if  at  least  one 
manufacturer  has  proven  capability  to  manufacture  goods  which,  insofar  as 
their  range  of  physical  qualities,  operational  characteristics  and  efficiency  are 
concerned,  are  reasonably  equivalent  to  the  goods  for  which  relief  is  sought. 
Proven  capability  m^  be  deemed  as  existing  if: 

a)  a manu^cturer  has,  iMthin  his  nonnal  operational  framewerk.  the  full  range

machinery  and  equipment  reasonably  equivalent  to  the  relevant  machinery 
and  equipment;  and 

b)  a Canadian  manufacturer  has  so  produced  machinery  and  equipment  as  to 
demonstrate  a production  competence  reasonably  equivalent  to  that  required 
to  produce  the  relevant  machinery  and  equipment. 

c)  for  special  end-user  requirements  (i.e.,  when  machinery  and  equipment 
normally  available  from  Canadian  production  are  proven  not  to  meet  a bona 
fide  requirement  of  the  user). 

Applicants  must  substantiate  their  claim  that  Canadian  manufacturers  are 
unable  to  meet  the  end-use  requirements.  Documentation,  including  copies  of 
letters  and  requests  for  quotations  pertinent  to  the  goods,  must  be  enclosed 
with  the  application  for  Remission  of  Duly.

He  makes  two  points.  One  commends 
the  provost  for  her  recent  statement  to 
principals,  deans,  directors  and  chairs 
on  the  proposed  amendments  to  the  hir- 
ing policies  aimed  at  giving  a fairer  deal 
to  women  in  the  search  process.  He  sug- 
gests that  the  provost  has  changed  her 
mind  in  this  area,  moving  away  from  the 
position  which  the  administration 
negotiated  with  UTFAlast  June.  1,  too, 
have  read  the  provost’s  statement, 
printed  in  the  Dec.  7 issue  of  the 
Bulletin.  In  it,  unfortunately,  the  pro- 
vost fails  to  declare  unequivocally 
whether  she  stands  by  the  positions  to 
which  her  team  agreed  in  principle  last 
June.  Her  actual  statement  is  sufficient- 
ly ambiguous  to  permit  it  to  be  read  as 
endorsing  the  negotiated  position. 
Unlike  Professor  Marrus,  I prefer  to 
believe  that  she  has  not  changed  her 
mind:  what  her  team  agreed  to  in  prin- 
ciple is  a good  policy . But  whether  I am 
right  in  my  reading  or  Professor  Marrus 
is  right  in  his  remains  to  be  discovered. 

Professor  Marrus’  other  point  is  to 
criticize  UTFA  for  taking,  as  he  sees  it, 
the  position  that  things  agreed  to  in 
negotiation  are  carved  in  stone  and  that 
no  subsequent  debate  should  ever  be 
allowed  to  upset  such  an  agreement. 
That  of  course  is  far  from  the  UTFA 
position,  and  such  a travesty  should  not 
go  uncorrected.  Professor  Marrus  also 
repeats  the  canard  that  UTFA  negotia- 
tors failed  to  keep  their  colleagues 
informed  about  the  matters  that  were 
negotiated. 

It  was  in  February  1 985  that  the  pro- 
vost’s office  first  wrote  to  the  associa- 


tion inviting  discussions  of  possible 
changes  in  the  frozen  Policy  and  Pro- 
cedures on  Academic  Appointments. 
Negotiations  did  not  take  place,  how- 
ever,until  1986-87.  During  the  interval 
the  association’s  appointments  commit- 
tee spent  an  entire  academic  year  study- 
ing and  comparing  the  current  policy 
along  with  the  amendments  suggested 
in  the  administration’s  document  so  that 
we  would  have  a clear  understanding  of 
the  issues.  Our  committee  members 
consulted  their  colleagues  on  the  more 
complex  issues  and  our  status  of  women 
committee  advised  the  appointments 
committee  on  the  women’s  hiring 
issues.  UTFA  council  was  kept  fully 
informed. 

It  was  not  until  our  committees  had 
spent  considerable  time  in  study  and 
consultation  that  UTFA  felt  ready  to 
proceed  to  negotiations  on  the  policy. 
UTFA,  unlike  the  administration,  works 
with  the  volunteered  labour  of  our  col- 
leagues along  with  a small  support  staff. 
Thus,  it  would  not  be  at  all  reasonable 
for  us  to  enter  into  discussions  or 
negotiations  regarding  changes  to  the 
frozen  policies  for  which  there  was  little 
prospect  of  agreement. 

The  Memorandum  of  Agreement  bet- 
ween UTFA  and  the  University  freezes 
certain  policies  that  can  be  changed  only 
by  mutual  consent,  but  specifies  no 
mechanism  for  negotiating  change  in 
these  frozen  policies.  On  the  other  hand, 
all  negotiations  are  subject  to  certain 
basic  principles.  One  of  these  principles 
is  that  preparation,  including  any 
necessary  consultation,  should  precede 
the  negotiation  so  that  one’s  negotiating 
team  has  a baseline  understanding  of 
the  issues  and  the  solutions  that  will  be 


acceptable  to  their  principals.  Another 
of  these  principles  is  that  when  agi-ee- 
ment  is  reached,  both  negotiating  teams 
do  their  utmost  to  convince  their  prin- 
cipals that  the  agreement  is  a good  one. 
Without  the  certainty  that  each  side  is 
negotiating  with  authority  and  in  good 
faith,  negotiations  are  bound  to  fail. 

The  negotiations  which  led  to  the  ap- 
proval of  the  new  sexual  harassment 
policy  are  a good  example  of  how  UTFA 
and  the  administration  can  indeed 
negotiate  an  agreement  in  good  faith 
and  with  little  acrimony.  Experience  in 
these  negotiations  encouraged  UTFA  to 
believe  that  the  administration  team 
that  sat  down  with  UTFA’s  team  last 
June  to  negotiate  changes  to  the  ap- 
pointments policy  did  have  authority  to 
negotiate.  During  the  negotiations  on 
the  sexual  harassment  policy,  it  was 
always  clear  as  to  which  matters  had 
been  made  final  and  which  matters  re- 
quired further  thought  and  consultation. 
And  when  it  became  clear  that  the 
previously  negotiated  two-month  time 
limit  on  complaints  was  not  acceptable 
to  Governing  Council,  the  time-limit  was 
renegotiated  in  order  that  a policy 
would  be  approved.  Such  renegotiation 
in  the  interests  of  approval  was 
reasonable.  Agreements  reached  are 
not  “set  in  concrete,’’  and  where 
reasonable  to  both  parties  they  can  be 
renegotiated.  But  it  would  not  have 
been  reasonable  if  the  administration 
had  simply  declined  to  put  forward  the 
policy  it  had  negotiated.  Nor  would  it 
have  been  resusonable  if  the  association 
team  h;id  simply  declined  to  put  forward 
the  policy  it  had  negotiated. 

UTFA  believes  that  we  had  an  agree- 
ment regarding  amendments  to  the 
appointments  policy  with  respect  to 
both  equity  in  searches  and  the  three- 
year  review  of  probationary  tenure- 
stream  appointments.  This  belief  was, 
correctly,  reinforced  by  the  memo  we 
received  from  Vice-Provost  David  Cook 
on  June  30, 1987,  which  said  in  part.  “I 
attach  a revised  copy  of  the  Policy  and 
Procedures  on  Academic  Appoint- 
ments. This  represents  what  I believe  to 
be  the  Policy  the  negotiating  teams 
have  agreed  to.”  These  words  confirm 
two  facts:  (1)  there  had  been  negotia- 
tions, not  merely  “discussions,”  and  (2) 
the  teams  had  reached  agreement.  That 
being  the  case,  it  was  incumbent  upon 
the  provost  to  honour  the  agreement 
and  to  present  the  amendments  to 
Governing  Council  for  approval.  This, 
however,  was  what  the  provost  did  not 
do ; instead , at  a meeting  of  PDD&C , she 
summarily  dismissed  the  agreed-upon 
amendments  regarding  three-year 
reviews  from  the  process  of  approval. 

It  is  our  view  that,  if  the  administra- 
tion believed  consultation  with  PDD&C 
or  other  groups  was  necessary , that  con- 
sultation ought  to  have  taken  place  prior 
to  coming  to  an  ^eement  with  UTFA. 
To  negotiate  first  and  consult  later  and 
to  then  breach  an  agreement  because  of 
these  consultations  is  neither  exped- 
itious nor  professional. 

When  Governing  Council  ratified  the 
Memorandum  of  Agreement,  it  volun- 
tarily reco^ized  UTFA  as  equal,  and 
not  subordinate  to  Governing  Council 
with  respect  in  particular  to  grievances, 
to  the  frozen  policies  and  procedures, 
and,  since  the  advent  of  a process  of 
binding  eurbitration.  to  salaries  and 
benefits. 

The  Memorandum  of  Agreement  did 
not  remove  the  roles  and  interests  in 
these  matters  that  other  bodies  have. 
Moreover,  UTFA  has,  of  course,  never 
stated  that  these  roles  and  interests  are 
to  be  neglected.  To  the  contrary,  we 
have  insisted,  against  perceived  admin-

There  is  in  fact  no  correspondinj,  I

ning  Council,  as  a body  whose  consent  is 

required  before  any  changes  in  the  I 
frozen  policies  and  procedures  can  be  1 
made.  : 

Where  changes  depend  upon  tlie  I 
mutual  consent  of  two  parties,  they  sit  I 
down  at  the  table  as  equals.  As  equals  I 
they  negotiate  changes  to  which  both  ‘ 
parties  can  agree.  This  does  not  mean 
negotiated  positions  are,  as  Professor 
Marrus  says,  “set  in  concrete.”  But  it 
does  mean  that  a change  in  a negotiated 
agreement  is  to  be  dealt  with  at  the  i 
bargaining  table,  through  negotiations 
between  equals,  and  not  as  an  edict  dic- 
tated by  a superior  to  a subordinate. 

When  the  provost  broke  the  promise 
to  the  association  by  unilaterally  an- 
nouncing at  a meeting  of  PDD&C  that 
she  was  withdrawing  part  of  what  her 
team  agreed  upon,  she  broke  the  his- 
torical tradition  of  trust  that  UTFA  had 
with  the  administration. 

It  cuts  more  deeply,  however. 

Faculty  and  librarians  at  this  univer- 
sity believe  for  the  most  part  that  the 
framework  for  bargaining  that  best 
suits  their  situation  is  a Memorandum  of 
Agreement  outside  the  framework  of 
the  Labour  Relations  Act.  But  in  the 
absence  of  the  formal  procedures  that 
certification  would  guarantee,  it  is  a 
solutely  essential  that  each  side  be  able 
to  trust  the  other  in  negotiations  to  be 
fair,  honest  and  scrupulous  in  its  deal- 
ings. 'The  provost,  when  she  decided  to 
treat  her  agreement  as  a discussion 
paper,  destroyed  at  a stroke  the  trust 
that  is  essential  for  negotiations  to  work 
within  the  informal  framework  of  our 
Memorandum  of  Agreement. 

Professor  Marrus  apparently  believes 
that,  since,  as  he  sees  it,  the  provost  has 
come  to  a position  he  approves  of,  she 
may  therefore  use  any  means  or  pro- 
cedures she  desires  in  dealing  with 
UTFA.  UTFA  cannot  agree.  Even 
when  there  are  no  formal  procedures, 
there  are  proper  ways  of  doing  things, 
and  improper  ways.  Only  the  former  are 
acceptable. 

The  experience  concerning  the  Sexual 
Harassment  Policy  shows  that  negotia- 
tions between  equals  on  policies  and 
procedures  can  work.  Things  can  be 
done  properly.  They  skcnild  be  done 
properly.  I am  sorry  that  Professor 
Marrus  disagrees.

Haist’s  message  needs  restating 


In  1975  Professor  R.E.  Haist  (of  the 
“Haist  rules”)  wrote  a letter  to  the 
dean  of  medicine  at  U of  T,  outlining 
some  of  his  concerns  about  administra- 
tive developments  in  the  faculty . 

In  the  present  day  of  professional 
■'university  managers”  Professor 
Haist’s  message  is  even  more  timely 
than  it  was  13  years  ago,  and  deserves  a 
wider  audience.  I therefore  reproduce 
major  excerpts  from  his  letter: 

"This  song  has  been  sung  before,  but, 
since  its  mess^e  is  easily  forgotten,  it 
must  be  repeated  again  and  again. 

"The  message  concerns  the  nature  of 


a university  and  the  relationship  of 
‘administration’  to  the  university.  It  is 

admitted  that  administrative  arrange-  administrative  rather  than  acadmnc

academic  staff.  All  other  parts  of  the 
university  are  there  to  assist  in  the  effi- 
cient discharge  of  these  functions. . . . 

“While  it  is  relatively  easy  to  ap- 
preciate that  support  st^f  are  there  to 
enable  the  academic  group  to  carry  out 
their  proper  functions,  it  may  not  be  as 
readily  apparent  that  the  administrative 
staff  are  there  for  the  same  purpose. 
The  reason  for  administration  in  the 
university  is  to  facilitate  the  work  of  the 
academic  staff.  Though  it  is  recognized, 
of  course,  that  administrative  activities 
are  important  and  necessary,  adminis- 
tration should  not  be  considered  an  end 
in  itself. . . . 

“In  the  university  the  highest  position 
should  be  the  academic  position, 


personal  point  of  view.  In  the  latter 
approach  much  useful  evidence  appears 
to  have  been  omitted  and  the  likely

this  university  alone  has  divested  76 
percent  of*  its  South  African  related

ment on  black  employment,  wages,  pro- 
motion opportunity,  inflation,  costs  of 
essential  commodities,  health  services 
for  the  poor,  etc.  These  factors  have 
immediate  and  lasting  impact  on  the 
well-being  of  black  communities.  In  the 
absence  of  such  data  total  or  partial

possible  courses  of  action.  The  former

political  matters  has  recently  been 
severely  ^estioned,  is  acknowledged 
for  making  faculty  */iews  known. 
However,  strong  support  for  the  same 
views  as  expressed  by  .Governing  Coun- 
cil , both  in  segments  of  the  University 
and  amongst  the  general  public,  were 
either  played  down  or  not  alluded  to  at 
all , nor  was  it  emphasized  that  a similar 
position  was  held  by  some  of  the  finest 
universities  in  North  America. 

Even  the  historic  perspective  is 
narrow.  Although  reference  is  made  to 
the  treatment  of  the  Jews  by  the  Nazis, 
no  mention  is  made  of  the  generous 
post-war  treatment  of  Germany  and 
Japan  by  the  Allies,  which  transformed 
these  nations  into  respected  partners  in 
the  free  world.  A far  cry  from  the 
punitive  Treaty  of  Versailles  after 
World  War  I,  which  many  claim  ultim- 
ately, resulted  in  the  rise  of  Nazism. 

It  is  appropriate  that  a historian  be 
asked  to  address  this  issue.  There  are 
indeed  many  useful  lessons  to  be 
learned  from  history  and  certainly 
useful  data  are  presented  in  this  report, 
but  the  conclusion  is  barely  supported 
by  the  facts  as  given  and  would  be  quite 
untenable  if  the  fuller  picture,  contem- 
porary and  historical,  had  been 
presented.
